Here’s why emergency services were seen at Southampton Airport today

The airport moved to calm any concerns after emergency crews were spotted at the site today.

A spokesperson for Southampton Airport, speaking ahead of the training, said: "Today, our team will be conducting training on the airfield between 10am and 2.30pm.

"You may see several emergency vehicles; please be assured this is part of the exercise and not a cause for concern."
